March AC members took part in the Manea 5k fun run on Saturday.

Some 128 runners completed the course, with Niall Jackson setting a new course record of 18mins 19secs.

Alex Ashley was second, ahead of Tim Brammer (19.58), as Barry Head (20.38), Hugh Harris (22.53), Tina Lambert (24.06), Sarah Starr (25.06), Kai Stoner (27.19), Henrik Stoner (27.24), Victoria May (27.53), Steve Starr (27.58) and Nicki Knightly (33.08) also ran.

All enjoyed post-run buns cooked by Forbidden Burgers Co and donated by March's Tesco stores.

The Rose & Crown pub let their facilities be used for the event and post-race as lots of runners travelled from local villages and towns but also from as far afield as Sheffield and Southampton.

Bullmans Wooden Bits & Bobs supplied medals, sponsored by Safe Training Consultants, and the prize for best dressed went to Cathy Gib-De-Swarte, who came as a sheep, as Charlie Addison proved the junior with the best sprint finish.

A total of £2,716 was raised for the Headway charity, made up of £625 from the run and the rest from the disco. See headyway.org.uk for more information.
